A Year Ago: 'I was not aware until recently.  I did not know this music existed and I am sad for the time I missed and simultaneously glad for being here now. I'm not going to provide details of this band.  If you are interested please go ahead and search for that information yourself.  If you care, it may bring a smile.   I love the music I have heard from this band so far. Literally, everything makes me smile and feel an uplifted kind f joy that I do not feel often with just music.  Normally there has to be some sort of memory already attached to a song but this album I've been listening to today is phenomenal.  'right out tha gate.' DECIDE. Such a great word.  Yes, there are innumerable possibilities in this world.  Possibilities of the life you could live, the path you could take to lead you, hopefully, to heights of success and happiness you can't even imagine.  But, the thing is, you have to decide.  You can't let yourself sit there and think so much.

I went home for a few days
nothing clears the mind like laughter
and the beach
My brother often repeats words I've just said
or phrases I've just uttered
somehow
hearing them outside of myself
clarifies how funny I am

The beach was windy
to the point that it was almost too cold to sit in the sun
and oh that sun...it was bright and lovely
but the cold
made it so I did not notice my skin burning
now my shoulders and arms are itchy and red
still red, 3 days later.

It was worth it.
Salt water and sand
children running around free and shrieking with joy
is always worth it.
the renewal I feel after one visit
after the walk from the car
through white sands
to that perfect spot
the sitting, glancing around
maybe reading something not expected to be inspiring
but always is
a visit to the water
maybe a float through the sparkles
then the walk back to the car
hell yes
always worth it.
always worth it.
